Town and Country Veterinary Group, Blackburn, Blackburn, North West
We have an exciting opportunity for a veterinary Surgeon to join our team to work across our 3 practices. Your day-to-day duties will involve a mixture of consultations and surgery; you will be responsible for the work up and care of patients, and there will be some sole charge.
Fix or flex – find your perfect balance
We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you are looking to fix or flex your work patterns, we can find the right solution for you. Our full-time vets usually work 4 full days with a day off during the week and you would be part of the Saturday rota which would be 1:4/5 Saturdays with a day in lieu.
We have no OOH or Bank holidays which is great for a work-life balance. However, we are happy to discuss working patterns as we understand how important a good work/life balance is and we would be happy to discuss part-time hours.
About the practice
Town and Country Vets are a first opinion, small animal veterinary group with three great sites based in Blackburn, Clayton-le-Moors & Whalley. We have all the usual equipment including Ultrasound, Digital x-ray & in-house blood machine.
About the team

Everyone is hard-working, friendly & supportive. Our team has a wealth of knowledge and expertise and it is important to us that we find the right person to join our Town & Country family. Professional development is supported within our team.
